LUMINISCENCE, the multi-sensory experience at Saint-André Cathedral
20 September - 31 December
Immerse yourself in a unique multi-sensory experience as you rediscover one of France's most beautiful cathedrals as you've never seen it before!
LUMINISCENCE takes visitors of all ages on a journey through time and the history of Saint-André Cathedral, inviting them to relive the original emotion that its great builders sought to inspire in the 12th century, and above all that of the millions of people who have visited this emblematic site over the centuries.
The cathedral has been the setting for such historic weddings as that of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Louis VII in 1137, and that of Louis XIII and Anne of Austria in 1615.
The programme
The powerful voices of the choristers, carried by the colourful notes of the orchestra, resonate in the sacred space as its walls light up and transform as if by magic. The projections sublimate the architectural qualities of the Cathedral, from its majestic footprint to the slender vaults over 20 metres high.
Through this breathtaking visual and musical spectacle, the secrets of the Cathedral are revealed, highlighting the architectural prowess of its builders, its spellbinding lighting effects and its extraordinary acoustics.
By combining 360° video mapping and 3D spatialized sound, LUMINISCENCE takes spectators on an immersive journey into the history of this majestic monument.
Each architectural detail is magnificently enhanced by video projections, each stained-glass window is sublimated by moving light effects, while the building's exceptional acoustics enhance the emotion generated by the music.
